"For the 2005 event, riders times will be calculated with the aid of a tagging system. Riders will be able to start individually from 6.30 - 8.00 am. There will still be two group starts at 8am and 9 am. But only riders with an existing time of under 9 hours will be able to start after 8 am."
113 miles in the Lakes. It's fun 🙂 I'll be doing it - anyone else interested. I think I'll try starting with the 9am group this year.

Although I'm interested, I will be doing a Lakes ride a few weeks before so I may not be able to find the time.
Just after Easter, along with two friends, I'll be riding from my house to Keswick, Keswick to Kendal and then from Kendal back home via Middleton in Teesdale, over three days. We'll be taking in some of the Lakeland passes on the 2nd day.
The entry date for the Challenge is after I do this trip. Do you know if there is a cap on the entries? If not then I might enter depending on how our mini-tour goes.

I don't know about a cap but they don't accept entries after the closing date.

: Leaving at 9.00am and getting to Buttermere by noon and taking in two passes : Sheeeeeeeeeesh!
I did it last year in 7hrs 7min (16mph) and I want to shave a bit off that this year so I'm hoping that starting will the faster group will give me more of a tow. Of course it could all go totally wrong and they'll **** off up the first hill, but we'll see.
